That is a great mod. or do the cams and intake mani and hondata all at once. also the header is a great way to gain hp. I have the jackson racing header and i noticed a difference with that.
show me a dyno..where it puts down 20 extra hp to the wheels across the board. aem claims 20 extra to the wheels...but thats probably peak hp. they do that all the time..and advertise they get 20whp when it only happens in a instant and usually at the end of the powerband.
20whp isnt worth anything if you only get it for a split milisecond.
the reason why i said 8 is because if you averaged the gain across the rpm range...it would come out to be 8whp. and THAT is what you are feeling, and That is what matters. The derivative of a curve.
